(Kennebunk, ME) Presented by River Tree Arts and The Kymara Gallery, “Charles Gatewood’s Wall Street,” is an exhibition of rare vintage and contemporary photographic prints based on the photo essay, “Wall Street.” The exhibition illustrates the 1970s style and culture of New York City’s notorious financial district and has won acclaim for the photographer’s use of architectural imagery and satire. Included in the exhibit are the photographer’s legendary portraits of William S. Burroughs, Bob Dylan, Abbie Hoffman, Allen Ginsberg, and Brion Gysin with his “Dream Machine.” The show will open on Friday, February 10th with a celebration/happening from 5:00 to 7:00 pm and will continue to run through Saturday, March 17th.

Gatewood, whose career has spanned over forty-five years as both a fine art photographer and a photojournalist, has worked on assignment for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, Harper’s, and Time magazines. The internationally respected photographer is best known for his early documentation of the “modern primitives” movement, and of underground and sub-cultures of the 1960s to present. Gatewood’s diverse portfolio includes teaching at The Photographic Resource Center in Rockport, Maine. He has also been the author of several fine art books, including “Burroughs 23,” featuring images of American author William S. Burroughs, and his work appears in worldwide museum collections.

During the exhibit, there will be a “Kymara Gallery Sideshow” of mixed media works by artists who are interpreting the current political climate, along with memorabilia from Maine’s “Occupy” encampment. Hudson Valley, NY artists Joe Concra and Denise Orzo, New York City artist Matt O’Neill, Worcester, Massachusetts artist Scott Holloway and Kennebunkport artist Kymara are among the exhibitors.

River Tree Arts is located at 35 Western Avenue in Kennebunk. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The event is produced and curated by Kymara and Milo, owners of The Kymara Gallery and Kymara Happenings. Kymara Happenings is famous for creating unique, historically significant arts related events in New York City and Maine. The Blue Elephant in Saco will be a catering sponsor for the opening.
